Given the limitations on Taiwan's judicial capacity as well as public sentiments and pressure, delivering verdicts on sexual offences is met with great challenges.  Although this implies active engagement on the public's part, misunderstandings may exist between Taiwanese citizens and the judicial system, resulting in dissatisfaction over the judicature (i.e. annotations provided by judicial personnel, law enforcement procedures, and trials and final verdicts).  In addition, failure of the judicial personnel to communicate with the public has further widened the gaps.

To avoid intensifying the opposition between the public and judicial authorities, TCAV attempted to promote rational exchanges by establishing a communication platform. The Judicial Advocacy Plan engages in the movement for the establishment of Violence Prevention Act and activities that help the criminal justice system to have a better understanding of the nature of gender-based violence. We advocate victim-centered judicial reform, the criminal justice system needs to be redesigned to protect and assist women, viewing physical and mental safety issues as a priority. Recently, we also advocate trauma-Informed approach that criminal justice system needs to realize victims' response to trauma and prevent secondary harm.
